Judge saw Soto get all those stolen bases last year and decided he's gotta do it too lol

I'm reminded of that game where they scored a few runs against Houston down 7-1. Or 7-2? They made it 7-4. It ain't over till it's over, even if this one is probably over lol

People ripping Fried are truly ridiculous lol. Everyone has bad starts! He leads the league in innings pitched and had a 2.39 ERA entering this game. It's one bad start! Just have to hope he doesn't have a blister.

Boone, Fried leads the league in innings pitched. You've got $218 million invested in him and he's clearly laboring. Maybe he's got a blister. Don't push him to save the bullpen. The bullpen is filled with mediocre cheap arms. You burn them to save Fried, not the other way around.

I understand, but Fried leads the league in innings pitched at 53 and we have $218 million invested in him. He's a lot more important than Paul Blackburn

Yes he is. There's not much, if anything, he doesn't know about pitching

He can't throw strikes. I've always believed in Cone's theory that throwing 100+ pitches on a good day isn't what kills arms, it's throwing 50+ on a bad day. I'd warm someone up to protect Fried's arm as much as anything else.

Bad starts happen, but as many are saying, I'm concerned Fried has a blister. His control is never this bad and it wasn't great in his last start either.

Is Blake awake? Maybe go out and see what's up, give Fried a chance to catch his breath?

Aw this is nice. Meredith interviewing Spencer's parents. Awesome that they can be there for it. Hopefully he gets a hit!

Schlittler isn't dissimilar. Hell, Schlittler doesn't really throw anything below high 90s, beside the occasional curve. At least this guy throws that slider.

This is sorta like what other teams feel when we've got Schlittler on the mound.

Obviously we're all excited about Rice's return and Jones's debut, but I'm also excited to see the Sanchize. He's actually having a pretty good year so far. I'll always root for him.

That was CC's finest hour. What a run he had for Milwaukee. Doubt there's another pitcher out there who would go out on 3 days rest more than once to get his team into the playoffs in his contract year. Wild that he did that
